The development would thereby be contrary to Policies LLP1, LLP15, LLP17, LLP25, 22nd June 2026 See Notes for Applicants Attached. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING ACT 1990 TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING (GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PROCEDURE) ORDER 2015 Continuation (Forming part of Application No: 26/00429/FUL LLP31 and LLP32 of the Luton Local Plan 2011 -2031 and the principles relating to housing with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), or the Framework.

This intensification, including the loss of the existing gym/store room as a communal space, would reduce the amount of shared space available and place greater pressure on the remaining facilities, to the detriment of future occupiers' living conditions. The proposal would thereby be contrary to Policies LLP1, LLP15, LLP17, LLP25, LLP31 and LLP32 of the Luton Local Plan and contrary to the aims and objectives of the NPPF.
